So long, and thanks for all the fish

Subject says it all. The 8 is now officially gone. I'm really going to miss it, I honestly am, but I'm doing 24,000 miles a year now and it just wasn't possible to sustain. I took a loss on the car because I couldn't keep my payments up with the depreciation. That combined with the gas mileage...

But yah, these are all excuses. It's been an amazing 3 years with you guys. I'm still gonna be around on Facebook for those who're friended but to be honest, I doubt I'll be on the forums much any more.

Thanks for all of the memories guys:

















And one last shot, in the dealer parking lot...

IS250.

Current plan is later this summer or possibly the following summer to get into a salvage title S2000 that had the seats stolen. But for a car I'm gonna be doing 24,000 miles a year on, it couldn't be the 8.

Heh, having just posted this, I now see that 24hrs of Lemons is coming to Oregon Raceway Park this year... it's in June so it's probably too late to field a car for me (financially) but next year you all may hear from me because I would LOVE to put a crew togther.
